Book Reviews

Bookpage reviews tend to be short, giving an overview of the author's history, the plot of the book, and the critic's first impressions in a few paragraphs. Using informal language, the site gives a quick impression of who will enjoy the book. Reviews are typically positive.

Often focusing on historical setting and context, HistoricalNovelSociety reviews tend to be brief. The first one or two paragraphs will be devoted to an introduction to the plot and characters, followed by a short assessment.

Kirkus Reviews tend to be brief, only two or three paragraphs long. The emphasis is on describing the writing style and quality, with a short plot synopsis included. Reviews end with a summary of the reviewer's thoughts and links to purchase options.
